Good selection of parts, but you're paying a premium for buying solely off Amazon. Only thing I would really change if you don't like my other suggestions is the RAM to a 2 x 8 GB kit rather than 4 x 4 GB kit and a higher speed. You'll gain additional FPS in some games and 2 sticks are easier on the memory controller.

Also I wanted to ask, having 2 different brands of memory on my motherboard, is that ok?

Ex. 4 RAM slots with 2 G.Skill 16gb and 2 Kingston.

It's not a good idea because of potential compatibility problems. It may work, and it may not.
